The present invention is directed to heterocyclic substituted triazolyl phosphorous compounds corresponding to the formula ##STR4## wherein R represents a nitrogen containing heterocyclic radical corresponding to one of the formulae ##STR5## each X independently represents chloro, fluoro, bromo, nitro, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, amino, mono- or dialkylamino wherein each alkyl group independently contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylthio of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylsulfinyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylsulfonyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, phenoxy or substituted phenoxy of the formula ##STR6## wherein each Z independently represents chloro, fluoro, bromo, nitro, cyano, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkylthio of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with the proviso that when either n is 2 3, all X groups are sterically compatible with each other and all Z groups are sterically compatible with each other; Y represents oxygen of sulfur; each n can independently represent an integer of from 0 to 3, inclusive; R1 represents hydrogen, chloro, fluoro, bromo, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 3-6 carbon atoms, phenyl, phenylthio, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylthio of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylsulfinyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylsulfonyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, thiocyanato, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, amino, mono- or dialkylamino wherein each alkyl group independently contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R2 represents methyl, ethyl, propyl or isobutyl and R3 represents methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, ethyl, mono- or dialkylamino wherein each alkyl group independently contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylthio of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl.
In the present specification and claims, the term "sterically compatible" is employed to designate X and Z substituent groups which are not affected by steric hindrance as defined in "The Condensed Chemical Dictionary", 7th edition, Reinhold Publishing Co. N.Y., page 893 (1966)which definition is as follows:
"steric hindrance. A characteristic of molecular structure in which the molecules have a spatial arrangement of their atoms such that a given reaction with another molecule is prevented or retarded in rate."
Steric hindrance may be further defined as compounds having substituents whose physical bulk does not require confinement within volumes insufficient for the exercise of their normal behavior as discussed in "Organic Chemistry" D. J. Cram and G. Hammond, 2nd edition, McGraw-Hill Book Company, N.Y., page 215 (1964).
In the present specification and claims, the symbol "φ" is employed to designate phenyl or substituted phenyl.
The present invention is also directed to novel heterocyclic substituted triazol-3-ol compounds employed as starting materials in the preparation of the above heterocyclic substituted triazolyl phosphorus compounds. The triazol-3-ol compounds correspond to the formula ##STR7## wherein R and R1 are as hereinbefore set forth.
The triazolyl phosphorous compounds of the present invention possess excellent insecticidal properties and are very useful for the control of insects and for the protection of plants and stored goods from destruction by insects.
The phosphorous compounds of the present invention are crystalline solids or liquids which are sparingly soluble in water and which are soluble in most organic solvents.
A preferred group of phosphorous compouds are those wherein R is a heterocyclic radical corresponding to one of the formula ##STR8## and X, n, Y, R1, R2, and R3 are as hereinabove set forth.
Under this above group, an especially preferred group of compounds are those wherein R is ##STR9## R2 is C1 or C2 alkyl; R3 is C1 or C2 alkoxy; X is chloro, fluoro, bromo or phenoxy; n is 0 or 1; Y is sulfur and R1 is hydrogen, C1 to C3 alkyl, C1 to C2 alkoxy or C1 to C2 dialkylamino.
The triazolyl phosphorous compounds of the present invention can be prepared by the reaction of an appropriate substituted 3-hydroxy- or an alkali metal salt thereof which corresponds to the formula ##STR10## with a phosphoric acid halide corresponding to the formula ##STR11## in the presence of an acid binding agent and a solvent. In the above formulae, R, R1, R2, R3 and Y are as hereinbefore defined; Me represents sodium, potassium, lithium or cesium and X represents chloro or bromo.
In carrying out this reaction, the 3-hydroxytriazole reactant or the alkali metal salt thereof, in a solvent, is mixed with the phosphoric acid halide and the mixture heated at a temperature of from about 20°C up to the boiling point of the specific solvent employed. The reaction can be carried out if desired in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction is usually complete in from about 0.1 to about 24 hours.
The reaction consumes the reactants in stoichiometric proportions, i.e. one equivalent of the 3-hydroxytriazole reactant per equivalent of the phosphoric acid halide and for the most part, these amounts can be employed. It should be noted however, that the actual amount of the reactants to be employed is not critical as some of the desired product is formed when employing any proportions.
The alkali metal salt of 3-hydroxytriazole reactant can be prepared by the reaction of molecular equivalent amounts of the 3-hydroxytriazole and an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate in the presence of a solvent at temperatures of from about 20°C up to the reflux temperature of the solvent employed for from about 10 minutes to about 4 hours. From a practical standpoint, the salt conversion is usually carried out in situ. In addition, it is preferred to employ the alkali metal salt since during the subsequent reaction with the phosphorous acid halide, an insoluble alkali metal halide by-product is formed rather than an acid and no acid binding agent is necessary. Additionally, the insoluble salt can be easily removed allowing for a more convenient product recovery.
Representative catalysts useful in carrying out this process include tertiary amines having a pKa of at least about 9.5 as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,928,370. Additional catalytic agents which can be employed include co-catalysts which are mixtures of quaternary ammonium as phosphonium salts and organic tertiary amines such as taught in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,907,815, 3,917,621, 4,007,197 and 4,016,225.
The ammonium salts are currently preferred over the phosphonium salts due to cost and commercial availability. The most preferred catalysts are benzyltrimethyl-, benzyltriethyl- tetra-n-butyl and tri-n-butylmethyl ammonium salts.
Examples of suitable tertiary amines include aliphatic trihydrocarbyl amines (e.g. trimethylamine, ethyldimethylamine, butyldimethylamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, and the like); aliphatic heterocyclic amines (e.g. 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 1-methyl-2-imidazoline, 1-methylpyrrolidine, and the like); mixed aliphatic/aromatic amines (e.g. 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 4-(N-pyrrolidion)pyridine phenyldimethylamine, and the like; and other like organic, sterically unhindered, nucleophilic, tertiary amines.
Examples of suitable diazoles include imidazole, 1-methylimidazole, 1-ethylimidazole, 1-propylimidazole, 1-hexylimidazole pyrazole, 1-methylpyrazole, 1-ethylpyrazole, 1-butylpyrazole, 1-amylpyrazole and 1-hexylpyrazole, and the like.
Other catalysts include a heavy metal or heavy metal salt such as, for example, metallic copper or mercuric chloride.
If a catalyst is employed, it can be added at any stage of the process. In order to achieve the best yield, it is preferred that the catalyst be added at the beginning of the reaction. If, however, the catalyst is a tertiary amine, it is preferred that it be added just prior to the addition of the phosphorus acid chloride.
Suitable acid-binding agents are, for example, organic amines such as triethylamine, dimethylaniline, pyridine, inorganic bases such as the hydroxides and carbonates of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, or lithium. These agents are employed in from about an equimolar amount up to about a 10 percent excess based on the triazole reactant.
Suitable solvents which can be employed are all the usual organic liquids which are inert under the reaction conditions, for example, acetone, methylethyl ketone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, chlorobenzene, polychlorobenzenes, bromobenzene, dimethylformamide, xylene and the like.
In order that the present invention may be more fully understood, the following examples are given primarily by way of illustration and should not be construed as limitations upon the overall scope of the present invention.

The substituted triazol-3-ol compounds corresponding to the formula ##STR178## wherein R and R1 are as hereinbefore defined and which are employed as starting materials, are novel compounds and can be prepared by a variety of procedures.
Those compounds wherein R1 is hydrogen can be prepared by the reaction of an appropriate substituted hydrazine carboxamide with excess formic acid or triethyl orthoformate under reflux conditions with or without a solvent being present. Representative solvents include dimethyl sulfoxide, xylene and dimethylformamide. The product is thereafter recovered by cooling the reaction mixture and pouring it over ice and filtering off the solid product which precipitates. Alternatively the reaction mixture is concentrated by distillation and the solid product which precipitates is recovered by filtration. The product regardless of the method of recovery can be further purified by being either washed with a solvent and then dried or washed with water and dried. When water washing is employed it is often advantageous to neutralize the filtrate to recover any product remaining therein.
Those compounds where R1 is chloro are usually prepared by chlorinating the appropriate compound wherein R1 is hydrogen. This chlorinating step employs a convention chlorinating procedure wherein chlorine gas is bubbled through the triazol-3-ol compound at 10°-20°C After the chlorination is complete, the desired product is recovered by filtration.
Those compounds wherein R1 is bromo or fluoro can be prepared by conventional halogen exchange procedures wherein the appropriate triazol-3-ol compound, wherein R1 is chloro, is treated with potassium bromide or cesium fluoride, respectively. The desired product is then recovered by quenching the reaction mixture with ice said filtering of the solid product.
Those compounds wherein R1 is amino or alkylamino can be prepared by reacting the appropriate triazol-3-ol compound wherein R1 is chloro, fluoro or bromo with ammonia or an alkyl amine in the presence of a solvent such as, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide or isopropyl alcohol and at temperatures in the range of about 45° to about 150°C for from 1 to about 3 hours. The product can be separated by conventional techniques of quenching and filtration.
Those compounds wherein R1 is alkoxy, alkylthio or phenylthio can be prepared by the reaction of an appropriate triazol-3-ol compound wherein R1 is chloro, bromo, or fluoro and an appropriate alkali metal alkoxide, alkali metal alkyl- or phenylmercaptide, in the presence of an organic solvent of the type conventionally employed for such reactions.
In carrying out this reaction, the alkali metal is dissolved in an alcohol corresponding to the alkyl or phenyl group being added. The alkali metal oxy compound is inherently formed and is employed as such in the following reactions. The mercaptide is formed by adding the appropriate mercaptan to the alcohol solution. To the appropriate above mixture is added the triazol-3-ol reactant and the resulting mixture is refluxed for a time sufficient to complete the reaction, usually from about 1 to about 3 hours. The reaction products are filtered to remove any alkali metal halide, followed by solvent removal by evaporation, distillation or other conventional separatory procedures, leaving the desired product.
Those compounds wherein R1 is alkylsulfinyl or sulfonyl can be prepared by reacting an appropriate triazol-3-ol with an oxidizing agent. The oxidation of any of the alkylthio substituted compounds results, at least partially, in the formation of the corresponding alkylsulfinyl substituted compound. The oxidation of one molecular of the alkylthio substituted compound to the corresponding alkylsulfinyl substituted compound or the oxidation of one molecule of a alkylsulfinyl compound to the corresponding alkylsulfonyl compound requires one atom of oxygen for each sulfur atom oxidized. The oxidation of the alkylthio compound directly to the corresponding alkylsulfonyl compound, on the other hand, consumes two atoms of oxygen for each sulfur atom so oxidized.
In carrying out the various oxidation reactions to prepare the sulfonyl compounds of the present invention, it is preferable to employ an excess of the oxidizing agent, whereas in preparing the sulfinyl compound, it is preferable not to provide oxygen appreciably in excess of the stoichiometric quantities consumed in the conversion and to employ milder reaction conditions and/or oxidants.
In many instances, the alkylsulfinyl compounds can be prepared and subjected to continuing oxidative conditions so as to be further oxidized in situ to the corresponding sulfonyl compound. In some instances, depending on the oxidizing agent and process conditions, the oxidation proceeds to the sulfonyl compound so rapidly that it is not practical to isolate the sulfinyl compound. Representative oxidizing agents for the production of the sulfinyl compounds include nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and representative oxidizing agents to be employed in the preparation of the sulfonyl compounds include hydrogen peroxide, and perbenzoic acid.
Hydrogen peroxide, and conveniently an aqueous solution thereof, can be employed as the oxidizing agent in the production of the sulfinyl and sulfonyl containing derivatives of the present invention. In such embodiment, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a liquid reaction medium, such as trifluoroacetic acid, glacial acetic acid or a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride. In a preferred procedure, the acid-anhydride mixture is employed as the liquid reaction medium. The reaction takes place at temperatures of from about 75° to about 120°C In a convenient method, the reaction is carried out at the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture and under reflux. In carrying out the reaction, the reactants are contracted in any order or fashion, and preferably in amounts stoichiometric for the preparation of the desired product. The reaction mixture is then maintained at a temperature within the reaction temperature range until the desired degree of conversion is achieved. Following the reaction period, the sulfinyl or sulfonyl product can be separated by conventional procedures such as evaporation of the reaction medium to obtain the product as a solid residue. In an alternative procedure, the reaction mixture is washed with cold water and is thereafter filtered, centrifuged or the like to obtain the crystalline product.
Nitric acid is conveniently employed to oxidize the alkylthio starting material to the corresponding sulfinyl derivative. The reaction can be carried out in the presence of a halocarbon reaction medium such as carbon tetrachloride, methylene dichloride, ethylene dibromide, etc. In a preferred procedure, excess nitric acid is employed as the reaction medium. The reaction proceeds at temperatures between about 15° and about 120°C Preferably, the reaction is carried out under reflux conditions at temperatures of from 80° to 120°C and requires only a short period of time for completion, i.e., about 2 to about 7 minutes. Conveniently, the reactants are mixed and the temperature is allowed to rise to the desired temperature and maintained at or about this temperature during the refluxing.
The contacting of the reagents and separation and isolation of the desired product are all as previously described.
In an additional procedure, chlorine water can also be employed as the oxidizing agent in the preparation of alkylsulfinyl or sulfonyl derivatives from the corresponding alkylthio derivatives. When employing chlorine water as an oxidizing agent, a slurry of the alkylthio containing compound to be oxidized is prepared in water and the slurry agitated while chlorine gas is bubbled in. The mixture is maintained at room temperature until no starting alkylthio material is left unoxidized. If it is desired to convert the sulfinyl compound to the sulfonyl state, the temperature is raised to about 90°C and the mixture maintained at this temperature until oxidation is complete. This mode of oxidation is further discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,415,832.

R--NHNH2
in the presence of a solvent and/or water and a mineral acid with an alkali metal cyanate.
In carrying out this reaction, the appropriate hydrazino compound in the solvent and/or water is mixed with concentrated mineral acid and the mixture stirred at a temperature of from about 20° to about 40°C until a clear solution is formed. The alkali metal cyanate is added as an aqueous solution and the mixture stirred at room temperature until the reaction is complete, usually from about 1 to about 4 hours. The product is thereafter recovered by cooling the reaction mixture and filtering off the solid product which precipitates. The product can be further purified, if desired, by washing with a solvent such as methylene chloride and/or water and drying.
The substituted hydrazinoheterocyclic compounds corresponding to the formula

In one method, the compounds can be prepared by the reaction of an appropriately substituted haloheterocyclic compound with hydrazine or its hydrate. This reaction can be characterized as follows: ##STR280## wherein X, R and n are as hereinbefore defined, q is chloro, fluoro or bromo and no attempt is made to present a balanced equation.
This procedure is especially preferred when preparing compounds wherein the hdyrazino group is in a ring position ortho or para to the heterocyclic nitrogen.
In carrying out this reaction, one molar equivalent of the appropriate halo heterocyclic reactant, and a hydrogen halide acceptor, are mixed with a slight excess of the hydrazine with or without a solvent such as, for example, ethanol or isopropanol. Representative hydrogen halide acceptors include, triethylamine, pyridine, or other such conventional material. Conventionally, a large excess of hydrazine can be employed which then acts as a reactant and as the hydrogen halide acceptor.
The mixture is maintained under reflux conditions far from about 1 to about 8 hours. At the completion of the reaction, about two-thirds of the solvent is distilled off and the remaining mixture cooled, diluted with water, extracted with a solvent such as methylene chloride and the extracts dried. The insolubles are filtered off and the solvent removed by evaporation under reduced pressure leaving the desired product.
In an alternative procedure, the above reactants, can be placed into a sealed reaction vessel and stirred for from about 2 to 16 hours or more at a temperature of from about 100°C to about 150°C, or more, depending upon the reactants. The reaction mixture is cooled and the solid product which precipitates are recovered by filtration and washed with water and methylene chloride, filtered off and dried.
In another alternative procedure especially where the hydrazino group is in a ring position para to the heterocyclic nitrogen, an appropriately substituted 4-alkyl sulfonyl substituted compound is reacted with the hydrazine as in the above procedures. This reaction is characterized as follows: ##STR281## wherein R, X and n are as hereinbefore defined and no attempt has been made to present a balanced equation.
In carrying out this reaction, a mixture of the appropriately substituted 4-alkylsulfonyl compound and one of the above listed solvents are stirred while the hydrazine and a hydrogen halide acceptor (or excess hydrazine) are added dropwise. After completion of the addition, the mixture is refluxed for from about 1 to about 8 hours and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture is diluted with water and the solid product recovered by filtration and then water washed and dried.
In another procedure, especially where the hydrazino group is in a ring position meta to the heterocyclic nitrogen, an appropriately substituted meta-amino heterocyclic compound is reacted with an alkali metal nitrate in the presence of a mineral acid followed the reaction of this product mixture with stannous chloride in hydrochloric acid. This reaction can be characterized as follows: ##STR282## wherein R, X and n are as hereinabove defined and no attempt has been made to present a balanced equation.
In carrying out this reaction, one molar equivalent of the appropriately substituted meta-amino compound is mixed with concentrated hydrochloric acid and cooled to about 0° to -10°C while a slight (∼10 to 20%) excess of the alkali metal nitrate reactant in water is added at a rate to maintain the reaction temperature at below about 0°C This mixture is thereafter slowly added to a fresh solution of stannous chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid at a rate to maintain the reaction temperature below about 0°C The mixture is stirred for from about 1 to about 3 hours and the solution made basic. The mixture is extracted with a solvent such as methylene chloride and the extract dried filtered and distilled to recover the crude product. The crude product is purified by dissolving in dilute hydrochloric acid and extracting with methylene chloride. The aqueous phase is made basic and the desired product which precipitates is recovered by filtration, water washed and dried.

| The new triazolyl phosphates of the present invention possess |
| excellent insecticidal and acaracidal properties and are very suitable |
| for the control of chewing and sucking insects for the protection of |
| plants and stored goods. The compounds penetrate into the tissues of |
| plants and/or are taken up into the plant through root uptake and are |
| highly effective as contact and stomach poison insecticides. Owing to |
| thier low toxicity to warm-blooded animals, they are also suitable for |
For example, the compounds of the present invention can be employed for the control of one or more of the following arthropods, among others, and their various stages of development (larvae and eggs): insects of the families Muscidae and Culicidae, house flies (Musca domestica), stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) and mosquitoes (e.g. Aedes Aegypti, Culex fatigans, Anopheles stephensi); against insects of the families Curculonidae, Bruchidae, Dermestidae, Tenebrionidae and Chrysomelidae, e.g. granary weevils (Sitophilus granarius), bean beetles (Bruchidus obtectus), larder beetles (Dermestes vulpinus), mealworms (Tenebrio militor), Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), and their larval stages; against insects of the family Pyralididae, e.g. Mediterranean flour moths (Ephestia kuhniella), of the family Blattidae, cockroaches (Blattella germanica, Periplaneta americana, Blatta orientalis), of the family Aphididae, e.g. green peach aphids (Myzus persicae), of the family Pseudococcudae, e.g. citrus mealybugs (Planococcus citri) and of the family Locustidae, e.g. migratory locusts (Locusta migratoria), arachnids including the families Acaridae, Ixodidae, Tetranychidae and Argasidae.
In their use as insecticides, an insecticidal amount of the phosphorous compound per se or a composition incorporating an insecticidal amount of the compound is used as the toxicant for contact with the pest insect or its habitat. The insecticidal amount, of course, is that quantity which elicits toxic mortality among the treated pests. Generally, such insecticidal response results by contacting the target pests or their habitat with a composition containing from 0.00001 to 99 or more percent of the active compound in the total composition. Good results are achieved upon contact with a composition containing about 1000 parts of the active compound per million by weight.
Suitable compositions include those which are in the form of liquid solutions, liquid emulsifiable concentrates, and dust or granular preparations. Such can be further diluted as and where appropriate with convention diluents.
Liquid compositions containing the active compound are prepared by dissolving the active compound in a suitable inert organic solvent such as acetone, toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, chlorobenzene, ethyl ether or petroleum distillates or by dispersing the active compound in water with or without the aid of a suitable surface acting dispersing agent such as can be provided by ionic or nonionic dispersing and emulsifying agents.
The aqueous compositions may contain one or more water-immiscible solvents for the toxicants. In such compositions, the carrier comprises an aqueous emulsion, that is, a mixture of water-immiscible solvent, emulsifying agent and water. The choice of dispersing and/or emulsifying agent and the amounts thereof employed is dictated by the nature of the composition type and by the ability of the agent to facilitate the dispersion of the active toxicant compound in the aqueous carrier to produce the desired composition. Dispersing and emulsifying agents which may be employed in the compositions include the condensation products of alkylene oxides with phenols and organic acids, alkylarylsulfonates, polyoxyethylene derivatives or sorbitan esters, complex ether alcohols, mahogany soaps, and the like. In such compositions, the surface active agents are usually employed in the amount of from 1 to 20 percent by weight of the combined weight of the surface active agent and the active compound.
In the preparation of dust compositions, the active compound is dispersed in and on a finely divided inert solid such as talcum, chalk, gypsum, and the like. In such operations, the carriers are mechanically ground with the compounds or wet with a volatile organic solvent solution thereof. Similarly, dust compositions containing the compound may be prepared from bentonite, fuller's earth, attapulgite, and other clays. Depending upon the proportions of ingredients, these dust compositions may be employed as concentrates and subsequently diluted with additional solid surface acting dispersing agent or with talc, chalk, or gypsum and the like to obtain a desired amounts of active agent in a composition adapted to be applied for insect control. Also, such concentrate dust compositions may be dispersed in water with or without the aid or a dispersing agent to form spray mixtures.
Granular formulations are conventionally prepared by impregnations, such as through simple mechanical mixing, of the active compound in a presized carrier, usually of the type hereinbefore set forth.
In practice, the active compound is distributed so as to provide contact of the target insect with toxic amounts of the active compound. Such contact can be achieved through direct contact of the active compound with the target insect of by more indirect means such as by application to its food and/or habitat. Thus, for example, the active compound hereof or a composition thereof can be spread throughout the environs of the target host so as to both provide direct and indirect contact thereof or bait compositions incorporating a toxic amount of the active compound or composition thereof can be readily prepared and strategically located so as to provide ultimate contact of the host species therewith.
The following examples serve to further typify the nature of the present invention and are given solely for the purpose of illustration.
25 parts by weight of one of compounds 9, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, or 29, 60 parts of fuller's earth, 10 parts of diatomaceous earth, 3 parts of an alkyl aryl sulfonate (Naccanol NR) and 2 parts of a polymerized sodium salt of a substituted benzoid alkyl sulfonic acid (Daxad No. 27) are mechanically mixed and ground together to prepare a concentrate composition in the form of a wettable powder.
Similarly, 25 parts by weight of one of compounds 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38 or 39, 65 parts xylene and 10 parts of a dimeric alkylated aryl polyether alcohol (Tribon X-155), are mechanically mixed together to prepare a liquid emulsifiable concentrate composition.
In a like manner, 6 parts of weight of one of compounds 40, 41, 42, 43, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 64, 66, 67, or 68, 2 parts of Naccanol NR, 2 parts of Daxad No. 27, and 200 parts of water are ballmilled together to prepare a concentrate composition in the form of a water-dispersible liquid.
1 part of one of the compounds numbered 8, 11, 14, 16, 37, 42 or 44 is mixed with 99 parts of purified kerosene to obtain an oil preparation having an active ingredient concentration of 1 percent. In application, the composition can be atomized or sprayed as is.
These concentrate compositions may be further diluted in their concentrate state and/or dispersed in water to prepare aqueous compositions which have desirable wetting and penetrating properties. These compositions are adapted to be employed to treat target insect life and thus distribute the active compounds to provide contact of such inert life in insecticidal concentrations.
Paper cylindrical cartons about 35/8 inches in diameter by 31/4 inches high were fitted with wire screen on the top and bottom. Into each cage were placed 6 German cockroaches (Blattella germanica). An aqueous dispersion prepared by admixing one of the hereinafter set forth compounds, which had been dissolved in a suitable inert solvent, with a predetermined amount of water and a surfactant, was sprayed on the cockroaches through the screen from a distance of about 15 inches using a fine spray nozzle. At the same time, additional cockroaches were sprayed with a solvent-water-surfactant mixture containing no active toxicant to serve as controls. After spraying, the cockroaches were kept for 2 days. At the end of this period, the cages were examined to determine the minimum concentration in parts of active compound per million parts of the ultimate composition (ppm) necessary to give at least a 100 percent (LC100) kill and control of the cockroaches. The results of this examination are set forth below in Table IV.

An aqueous dispersion was prepared by dispersing a predetermined amount of one of the test compounds, which had been dissolved in a suitable inert solvent, and a predetermined amount of a surfactant in a predetermined amount of water. At the same time, a water-surfactant-solvent mixture containing none of the compounds was also prepared to serve as a control. Sheets containing egg masses of codling moths were pinned to apples and the egg sheets and apples were drenched with an aqueous dispersion of one of the hereinafter set forth compounds. Separate egg masses and apples were also treated with the control mixture. The egg masses/apples were incubated under conditions conducive to the hatching of the eggs and the growth of the larvae therefrom. Ten days after treatment, the apples were examined for the presence of egg hatch and larvae. Counts of the number of larval penetration in the treated fruit were compared to the number present in the untreated control to determine the percent control obtained with the test compounds.
This examination determined the minimum concentration in parts of the active compound per million parts of the ultimate dispersion necessary to give at least a 70 percent kill and control of codling moth larvae and/or eggs and the results of this examination are set forth below in Table V.

Seventy-five grams of air-dried soil were placed in an 8-ounce container. To the soil was added sufficient volume of a 400 ppm aqueous dispersion, prepared by admixing a predetermined amount of one of the hereinafter set forth compounds, dissolved in a suitable inert solvent, with a predetermined amount of water and a predetermined amount of a surfactant, to give various predetermined concentrations of the toxicant in the soil on a soil-chemical basis. The treated soil was air-dried and thoroughly mixed. To each treated container, and control containers treated with water and surfactant alone, was added 0.5 milliliters of an aqueous suspension of the eggs of the Western spotted cucumber beetle (WSCB) (70-80 eggs of 3-4 days old). Additional treated soil was used to cover the eggs and a corn seed was placed in the soil and covered with additional treated soil. The containers were thereafter maintained under conditions conducive to the growth of the seeds and the hatching of the eggs. Ten to twelve (10-12) days after treatment, the containers and the plants therein were examined to determine the minimum concentration in parts of active compound per million parts of the ultimate dispersion necessary to give at least a 100 percent kill and control of the larvae from the hatched eggs. The results of this examination are set forth below in Table VI.
